Since last weeks lab the Teensy ++ micro controllers arrived in the mail as well as other parts such has potentiometers needed for the hardware aspect of the sequencer. Over the course of the week problems arose with the internal midi clock in Fl Studio. These problems resulted in switching to Ableton Live. With the above problems solved the next goal is to send a signal from the Teensy to Ableton to play a scale. Along with the programming preliminary hardware prototyping has already begun. Overall the project has progressed from week to week and doesn't show signs of slowing until the goal is reached.
     Over the next week the LCD, SD card reader, and multiplexers needed for the display will be ordered. Along with these parts being ordered, programming and hardware prototyping will continue as well as a finalized hardware design. For the moment problems needed to be solved include syncing to Ableton Live and Massive, and learning the code needed to program everything.
